STOUGHTON NEWSPAPERS




Search selected Stoughton News from 

The Stoughton Record from 19051906 and 1909.

Stoughton's first newspaper the Stoughton Sentinel did not last for very long in the 1860's before it was discontinued. Once it was in production again in 1871 it would serve as Stoughton's only local newspaper for a quarter century.  When you are looking for early Stoughton news pre-1860 you must turn to neighboring town newspapers.  

The earliest Stoughton news appears in Boston newspapers in the early 1700's.  Some marriage and deaths in Stoughton were reported in The Massachusetts Centinel, and The Columbian Centinel (1784-1840).
